Bob Correll of Bay Head ran his 20-foot Boston Whaler out to the Mud Hole yesterday morning to find only green waters. There were floating trees out there, but they harbored none of the desired dolphin. He fished during the afternoon with Joe Reap of Ramsey on his Reaper from Manasquan, and finally caught his first keeper fluke of the season, a 23-incher at Manasquan Ridge where Reap also had a keeper after they had fished the Axel Carlsen Reef with no luck.
